Justin Bobby






One of THE best things that came out of reality t.v show "The Hills" labelled as a notorius lothario Justin Bobby's antics were not only great entertainment but also added to his bad boy persona and kept the drama going! Now modelling and hasn't stopped drumming for the band EdStanley Mr. Brescia is still one hot peice of man!


The Tree of Life - Trailer



Directed by the legendary Terrence Malick this film is finally set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival but still no official release date for the UK (sad face). The trailer is amazing and I hear the storyline is a bit arty & complex  but I'm hoping it lives up to the hype.

Vertical Farms

Whilst doing research for one of my modules "A world without oil" I came across the concept of the "Vertical Farm" although not new on my radar it has been brought up in a lecture before. However looking deeper into it I am finding the idea quite interesting and that more realistic in terms of urban growth.

According to Plantagon, their urban greenhouse



“…will dramatically change the way we produce organic and functional food. It allows us to produce ecological [resources] with clean air and water inside urban environments, even major cities, cutting costs and environmental damage by eliminating transportation and deliver directly to consumers.”

Vampire Weekend - White Sky



As the University year is coming to an end, it only means one thing. Hours upon hours of doing catch up work in time for hand in, which is becoming very mundane. However there's an upside and that's having this song on repeat full blast singing along to the chorus in a tone deaf manner on the top of your lungs, makes the process of completing assignments alot less painful believe me!
